Ah yes, I was referring to that one, the white one.
How does the white one sound?

Dont know much about Europe cable market, but I think Forza Audio is there? But id skip the ie match i think. I believe the ie match is if you where to use an iem with large desktop amps. Just get a 2pin to 4.4mm cable.Thanks for the replies!
Any advice on where to buy good cables for the Sarda? So I‘d need something TRRS to 4,4? I live in europe btw.
I know this is a few years out, but for anyone who visits this thread in the future I've found the PW Audio Blackicon Silver Gold series cable to be an excellent pairing with the Hyla SardaThanks for the replies!

The Sarda is my favorite for travel and always in my backpack. As you said, super comfortable to wear for hours and great noise insulation on flights. It's a lot of fun with movies or music.I recently picked up these iems and wanted to add some impressions as there are not many and I think this iem really deserves more of a spotlight!
The sarda really excels with bass texture and the leading edge/decay of those lower level impacts are well defined. The first few hours were really night and day to other cheaper iems I used during travel. Mids are not hallowed out but are not as present as low or top end sound. Instrument separation is detailed and I can pick apart each one. I think having that crispy defined low end helps me here since in some cases it would bleed into mid bass with those cheaper options too. I understand why these have a V-shaped signature but its not as distinct as I would have thought, maybe its because I am non-stock tips (epro ep01). I did notice that softer jazz/acoustic tracks provided more of that V-shape that these are known for. Something surprising during my listening is that I really liked trumpet on the sarda for whatever reason, most brass/horns sounded great
Overall, I really keep coming back to these for their amazing bass texture. Just can’t get this from other options I have and whenever I’m feeling the any bass centric genre this is going to be my first pick hands down.
These also really just fit exceptionally well for me. I can wear these for hours without having to adjust them which is something I’ve not found in other iems thus far. Another side note, I liked the ep01 tips so much I’m using them on my other pair of iems now. Love the softer material that gels to the shape of my ear canals, super comfortable.
